Any good Wired articles?

[Alienwho]

I've been on a bit of a WIRED article binge lately. I've read some great articles like the one where the editor disappears, another one about a jewel thief, and a bunch of others I don't remember off the top of my head right now.

Do you have any favorites you'd like to share?

The 2 you mentioned stood out to me when I read your topic title... The one about Duke Nukem Forever was interesting. I'll try to think of some more good ones.

On a side note, I believe that the jewel heist story/crime will be a movie in the next year or two.

There's one on a Russian spammer too.

The art of the steal, April issue is the best in a while. Looks like you already read it.

A long time ago there was one about the distribution system on piracy and how it gets leaked out. It's what got me to subscribe and my all time favorite piece.

And I'll just link some:

There are plenty of good ones. They did one about a master locksmith/lockpicker a few months back and one fairly recently about what it takes to transfer prisoners. Good magazine (if you can get it at a decent price).
